This theater anchored the south side of Wisconsin Street, the main street of Grand Marais, half a block from the harbor. In its day it was the only theater on the north shore of Lake Superior between Duluth and Thunder Bay—the only theater on a 200-or-so mile stretch of highway 61. It dates back to at least the 1940s (it appears in postcards from the time), and stood empty by the mid-1980s.

The marquee was removed sometime in the 1980s, and the streamlined entrance was walled up, but the building still stands, though there have recently been rumors of pending demolition.

At the risk of incurring Lost Memory’s ocular wrath, here is a photo of the theater in 1958. The caption says Main Street, not Wisconsin, but I’m assuming this was a one theater town:http://tinyurl.com/k8bl7
